School #5 was a school that taught both boys and girls. Most students were between 7 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1934.
School #5 was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 45. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
To actually get some possible names that would fit after Beniek Rajzman came up with nothing we shortened it to B Rajzman and three names came up that fit the age group to that particular school system. Two boys, one girl. The two boy names were the same person with the same birth date, and the other was a girl. She was ruled out as the person we searched for is a boy. This left Bernard Rajzman as the remaining possibility for the name. He would have been about 13 years old.

Fantastic explanation of your process! You did exactly what I would have suggested you do if you couldn't find anything for the name that was signed. Do you think Beniek might be a nickname for Bernard?
I agree that Bernard would have been an appropriate age to have signed the album for school #5; as you say, in 1941 he would have been 13 years old, well within the range to have attended school #5.
Also note his addresses: Insel 35 21 and Mittel 57.
Excellent work! I'm looking forward to seeing what you find in stage 2.
